" In which I get my heart broken by the player "
* * *
Blake Harper doesn't do love. He's rude, quiet, brooding, and prefers to be alone. Like all bad boys, he's untamable and unclaimed, but he isn't sure what to do when the girl he sets his eyes on...
" Do you like staring at me, Cat? " he whispers in a low tone, his voice clouding my thoughts and weakening my knees.
" Stare at you? "
He is amused by my dazed response, eyes glinting with mischief. I unconsciously lean closer to him when he does. God, those eyes.
" Hm, I felt your eyes on me this whole time when I arrived. Got some fantasies you wish to make real? " he asks, tone dropping lower and lower.
I drop my sight to his lips and shiver at the thought of kissing them.
" Answer me, pulchra. " He leans closer and I swear my heart is about to fail me, " Maybe next time. "
I blinked and he pulled away, leaving me cold and confused. He was so close. God. Oh my god. Panic starts to set in. Blake touched me.
He chuckles softly as he watches my face.
" Come, we still need to go get that ice cream. "
No matter how hard I try, I can't shake off the whisking feeling. As if I'm floating on some cloud. I touch my cheek and follow after him, surprised at how shaky my legs are.
Blake touched me. In someway. Jesus, I can't believe I'm exaggerating an encounter between us like this. He just tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. Guys do that all the time. Right? It isn't as if it was the most intimate thing I've ever done between someone.
I sigh, inside burning. Embarrassment sets my cheeks on fire. My panties are wet.

I've been dope ever since we returned from the ocean. Even though we engaged in silly activities, my mind was everywhere but there with the rest of them. I sink into the couch and munch on the popcorn, petty.
Every time I think I could distract my mind with something else it bounces right back to what happened, making my heart no longer calm. This is such a pain.
" What's wrong, Catalina? "
Avalon stares at me with an arched brow, suspicious of my continuous sighing and groaning. I brush it off with a rise of my shoulders.
" There's just a lot on my mind, " I explained and darted my eyes back to the movie, hoping she took note of this as a dismissal of her question.
" Like what? "
Of course, she won't take notice.
" School. "
She snorts.
" Sure. School always has me sighing and groaning like some teenager who just had her first kiss. "
My face burns and my eyes shy to the floor.
" It's a boy! Oh my lord, how could I not realize? Who's it? Is it Caleb? " she whispers, careful so that the guys don't hear from the room where they are playing video games.
